Let's talk SPORTS By DON '.BOOM BOOM" GRAVETT Sports Editor SAM ENJOYED HIMSELF AT CENTRALIA. 4. RCAF Centralia has been a popular sports lace for celebrities over the past four or five esons. Thanks to the connections of F/O Moe Go - 1a01, station recreation officer, throughout the Mont- zeal district, local station personnel have listened to such stars as Jean Beliveau, Dickie Moore and "The ;Rocket". Gobeil has also had King Whyte and Ward Cornell make personal appearances. This summer Jas been no exception. Moe pulled the switch on the boys for last week's banquet from his hockey stars - 'and radio -TV personel as he sidetracked into the football world, A young man carrying the name of Sam "The .Rifle" Etcheverry added tremendous sparkle to Cen- traliq's ant)t+al ,a,immel+ snorts show. The 29 -yeas -old 7I; w7',"Fi. ace, who has piloted Montreal Alouettes of the Big Four. Football Union in the quarter- back slot since '52, made a hit with all in attend- ance including yours truly. A major item we • "THE RIFLE" Sam has produced some fabulous records while .in his seven-year stint with the Als. In 1954 he received • the Canadian Schenley Award as Canada's "most outstanding player" and last year won for the 'second time the Jeff Russel Memorial Trophy as the East's most• valuable player. Not including this sea- son, "The Rifle" has tossed a total of 2,648 passes, which. exceeds 131/2 miles in measurement. He has booted the pigskin in equal yardage to no less than ' 51 football 'field lengths. Last season alone, Sam's 'right aria accounted for yardage in passing that just exceeds the lengths of 32 football fields. Four times, the Als' pride and joy has been named on the All - Canada 12 as one of the nation's top two-way players. Outside of football, Sam has his Bachelor of Arts degree which he received at the University of Denver. He is married and has a family of four— three sons and a daughter—who now make their tome in Montreal. A record such as this athlete has. produced over the years, football, education and family wise, is a real credit to himself and his as - iodates. liked about the good- looking athlete was the way he praised players on his club and through- out the Dominion of Canada. Not once did he run anyone down or brag about himself. To us, this is the sign of a real competitor be- cause if anyone has had some tough knocks, it has been him. VETERANS SHOW THE WAY IN THE NHL The "Old Warhorses" of the National Hockey League are still going strong. Some of the veterans have been in the league so long that one might call their place of employment a second home. Five of the top goal scorers starting off the '59-'60 cam- paign in a healthy way are Canadiens' Maurice Richard with 525 goals, Gordie Howe, Red Wing ace, with .418, Ted Lindsay, now with Chicago, 358, Bernie "Boom Boom" Geoffrion and big Jean Beli- •veau both of Montreal, with totals of 224 and 208 respectively. All of the above totals were compiled during regular National Hockey League action, Play- offs are not included. Playing wise, 16 of the ,nation's top players are performing in their tenth or more season in the big time. Heading the list is the ageless veteran Maurice Richard with 18 seasons. Right behind the old timer is Ted Lindsay with 16. Gordie Howe, Fern Flanian (Boston) and Bill 'Gadsby (New York) are -''competing in' their 14th. Canadiei s' Doug Harvey and the Wings' "Red" Kelly are enjoying their 13th. Rounding out the list is Nick Mickoski, Boston, 12; Fleming Mackell, Boston, 11; Bert Olmstead, Toronto via Montreal (ha!) 11; Tod Sloan, Chicago, 11; Allan Stanley, Toronto, .11; Geoffrion, Canadiens, 10; Tom Johnson, Canadiens, 10; Marcel Pronovost, Detroit, 10, and Vic Stasiuk, Boston, 10. How about that! Not one former Exeter Mohawk was named! CUFF CLEANERS --A tip of the chapeau to John' Gomm on winning the Exeter Golf Club's consola- tion round championship: We also should tip the beanie to Hal Hooke on losing with such a smile. This is the way. Hal Hooke (or' is it slice?) ,thought about it all: "John "Snead" Goman is lucky! I never` saw so many flukey shots. Take the one he sank on the 17th. It. looked like a 60 -foot putt but I guess it was 40. That was the one that beat pie. Doing things like that shouldn't be allowed in a (friendly??) snatch! Especially after the way he fanned on a six- foott hopes alive. How putt on the 16th, o keep p my about that! He keeps you hanging on the ropes for three holes and then cuts your throat! Now don't get me wrong! I'm not a sore loser (you lucky stiff), Congratulations, John!" . . Winning the last feet- ... kind ball gelate of the season of put south Huron High School teacher Ron Bogart on the spot. ,Ron promisedthe boys if they beatStr Stratford he'd get then' an exhibition game, How about it, Ron? , . After the panthers won over the Strats 6.2, we went looking for Glen Mickle' for a statement. When \ve finally found him he blurted: "Ottawa is still going to win the Big Four title, I predicted it right from the start!" How about that! ., . It's good to see Lloyd Stewart back in action at the Exeter Bowling Lanes after his . accident. Monday night Lloyd took right up from where he left off with a number of solid (lucky) strikes .. Exeter's hMkey Mohawks are looking pretty good, to this corner at least.

With ice in the local arena, Playing Coach Jim "Red" Loader has been putting some 26 hopefuls through the paces five nights a week in a'n effort to round a team into shape. Above, three local boys who have been very impressive are, left to right, Terry Wade, Bob Baynham and Bill Pin- combe. The trio has been working as a forward line and ha caught the eye of attend- ing spectators. The tribe has scheduled practices for Thursday, Friday and Sunday of this week. —T -A Photo Curlers to start November 10 Tuesday, November 10 has been announced as the official starting date for the Exeter Cur- ling Club at the local • arena. Actually, the 10th of November is more or less a 'get acquainted' date as all prospective curlers are invited to come out and try the game: Experienced players will be on hand from 7:00 p.m. on to instruct and explain the game to all newcomers. The club's first bonspiel will he held on Wednesday, Novem- ber llth. There will be prizes for each draw. First regular draw for club members will take plane on No- vember 17th. Traffic jam for second There's • a real traffic jam for second place in the Exeter Men's "A" Group Bowling League as no less than four teams are tied with 14 points while a fifth is only one point off the pace. Spares, Big Six, Rockets and Milkmen are the four clubs causing the confusion for the runner-up spot to the league leading Windmills who at the moment enjoy a seven point bulge over the rest of the pack. Red's Billiards presently stand third with 13. Rolling 700 or better triples were Stan Frayne 717, Harold Holtzman 772, Bob Osgood 719, and Jack Coughlin 710. Stan Frayne won the weekly award for high single with 298. Harold Holtzman looked after the triple honours with his 772 while Pin Poppers' anchor -man, Clifford "Dick" Quance, took the hidden score. -In the "B" section, Larry's Supertest (Ward Kraft 669) con - tined to hold their two point mar- gin • over Imperials by taking all four from Kippen Tigers. Impe- rials, however, kept pace with the loop leaders point wise at least, by downing Co-op 4-0. B. Smith paced the Imperials with. 655 while Amos Darling was high for Co-op. Edselaires and Upstarts squared off in a match that ended in a 2-2 point split. Cal Wein was high for Edselaires with 622 while B. McIntosh led the Upstart shooters with 625. Bob Osgood, Bob Nicol, Jim Hennessey and W. Davidson are running one, two, three in the Men's High Average Club. Os- good has quite a lead on the rest of the pack with a 245 average. Bob Nicol places Second with 229 while young Jim Hennessey and D. Davidson share •thea num- ber three slot Olds 228 each.

Plea'so turn to slags~ Upsets were a .common ping in the final two games.of � the Senior Perthex Conference Foot- ball, League Wednesday after- noon as the cellar - dwelling South Huron Panthers humiliat- ed the league champion Strat- ford Collegiate Ramblers with .a 6-2 thumping on the local grid- iron while Mitchell Blue Devils routed second place Listowel Blues 22.0. First place was at stake in the two games even though Stratford was supposed to have it all wrapped up, The Strats, pitted against the lowest club in the league, were figured by many to enjoy a cake -walk in the final encounter to win their their second Conference title in as many years. However, as it turned out, the Panthers were a thorn in the side ..f the Ram- blers throughout the entire 60 minute contest and registered their first victory of the cam- paign. Listowel booted their chance. Listowel Blues were undoubt- edly singing the blues after they heard what South Huron had done to the league favourites after they themselves had per- formed so humbly against Mit- chell. Listowel had a chance to force a tie for first place if they could have upset the Blue Devils. In the first meeting be- tween the two, Listowel rang up a 23-11 verdict hut in their second try—the payoff attempt— they were trampled. Stratford Ramblers will tackle Wingham District High School for the Western Ontario honours. The two clubs will play a home and home affair with the first game taking place in Stratford Tuesday afternoon (October 27) and the second in Wingham. on Tuesday, November 3. SH dazzles classic club A good big football team will beat a good little team most of the time, but periodically you'll find the underdog -coming up with a superlative effort in of- fensive and defensive measures to knock the heavy favourite right on the seat of their pants. This was the exact situation that took place on the local gridiron last week, when South Huron Panthers, p 1. a yin g their last genie of the schedule, pounced on the eventual league champ- ions (Stratford) for a 6-2 vic- tory. It was the Conference champs' only loss of the year. Panthers, winless in five con- tests, really turned it on with 60 minutes of football as a dazz- ling dipsy-doodle running at- tack kept the big Stratford club off stride most ef the afternoon, SHDHS coaches were beaming Coaches Glen.

For winning the honours, Mr. Goran received a dozen Spalding Dot golf balls.

"I knew our club had the ,pot tential all season but consistent injtes have hampered our play," retorted Mtekle. "This was the big one .and the boys came through" Bon Bogart praised the club for the victory and stated that "It was sweet revenge for the 40-0 sbellaeking Suffered in Stratford." On the other side of the fence,' the air was a bit thicker as Stratford Coach Eric MacMillan, filling in for regular pilot Neil McConnell, wasn't at all pleased with the Rambler display. "Our club was lousy," stamp- ed MacMillan, "they committed eight fumbles and had one 'tick blocked, The boys thought all they had to do was throw their helmets on the field. We were all overconfident! Our defensive unit was O.K. but the offensive setup was horrible. T have to hand it to South Huron in this' one. We couldn't get our run- ning and passing attack organ- ized even with our superior size and speed." Strats score first Stratford Ramblers were the first to hit the scoresheet, Centre Bob I41cDermott broke through South Huron's line in the first quarter to nail quarter. back Doug Gillings behind the goal attempting to find a re- +ceiver for a forward pass. The rouge gave the visitors a 2.0 lead, It stood up until late in the fourth quarter. After moving the ball down to the Stratford one yard line on a 65 -yard march, South Huron. failed to score on three attempts with plunges through the ,centre as a muscular Rambler line held. The cause looked hopeless at this point but the local club got another chance when after Stratford kicked, a series' of running and passing plays mov- ed the ball to within six yards of pay dirt. This time, the Panthers stuck to end sweeps as Jim MacDonald took a hand- off around right end to score the only major of the game. Doug Busche's convert attempt was low and wide of the uprights. The whole South Huron squad looked exceptionally effective in this outing as they continuously hit hard, causing Stratford to fumble.
